I had to read the second post twice to understand what it’s saying due to the non-standard grammar. But I’m a foreign speaker.

I’m asking an honest question out of curiosity: Was this easily legible to you?

Yes, it was very clear (native speaker here). Something like this is more commonly spoken than written, so I can see why it might be confusing. If your experiencing with English is more formal (via education, reading, etc) vs talking to a whole bunch of different people, that would explain it.
